KDE doesn't even work on the latest Ubuntu version - on my hardware, at least.
I have an Ubuntu system with an Intel graphics card, and my system won't boot into KDE unless I remove the old Intel driver that it defaults to, so that it then tries the new Intel driver which actually works. Gnome, Enlightenment, and whatever Ubuntu defaults to, they all work fine regardless, but KDE doesn't.
Note that this is after removing the 'Intel' driver for xorg, which had tons of screen tearing issues, in favor of the apparently "correct" modesetting driver, which is the preferred option for newish Intel cards. Except that at some point I was installing something else which explicitly depended on the Intel driver package...
And then we all ended up working from home and now I don't have to deal with any of that crap. Now I just use xorgxrdp from my Windows machine and it just works.
I can't imagine the gigantic hassle that would be trying to game on Linux in that kind of environment, where the "supported" and "default" options are the wrong choice and you have to manually uninstall things if you want stuff to work properly. No thanks. I love Linux (way, WAY more than Windows), but I'm not going to waste time and energy trying to play games on it.
- fartcannon 5y agoIt is absurdly easy to game on Linux now that Steam has proton. I do it literally every single day.
